FAQ

Should security questionnaire answers be reviewed?

Yes. Draft answers should be reviewed before they are sent to customers because they represent your company's security posture.

What if supporting evidence is missing?

Flag the answer as missing information, add the right policy or document, or answer manually with a clear caveat.

Can previous answers be reused?

Yes, but only after checking that the scope, product behavior, and supporting evidence are still current.
